Tanya Davis is a writer and performer based in rural Epekwitk / Prince Edward Island. Since 2006, she has been releasing music and poetry and presenting unique multidisciplinary work. The success of How to be Alone, a collaboration with filmmaker Andrea Dorfman, gained her fans from around the world and led to a follow-up short produced by the National Film Board. Tanya has performed at festivals in Europe, Mexico, and Australia, and she recently represented Canada at Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan. With an ever-growing collection of works, a passion for expression, and a penchant for change, she continues to expand as an artist and creator. In 2025, she presented her latest solo show, Seeker, and was playwright-in-residence at Victoria Playhouse (PEI). Tanya was named PEI’s 2024 Artist of the Year and served as the province’s Poet Laureate from 2023 – 2026. She collaborates frequently across artistic genres, creating for the page, the stage, the stereo, and the screen.
